DOI: 10.1128/spectrum.01898-22
Abstract: Small-colony variants (SCVs) of Staphylococcus aureus have drawn increasing research attention. Owing to their slow growth, atypical colony morphology, and unusual metabolic characteristics, SCVs often cause confusion in the laboratory. ABSTRACT Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23031241
Abstract: Recently, the drawbacks arising from the overuse of antibiotics have drawn growing public attention. Among them, drug-resistance (DR) and even multidrug-resistance (MDR) pose significant challenges in clinical practice. As a representative of a DR or… read more here.
